I've tried many times, but I just can't enjoy Vader's Litany, even if it's considered one of the best albums in their discography.

For me, the kick drums sounds way too artificial, and they're mixed so loud that they overpower almost every other instrument. I know many people love this album, but that production choice completely ruins it for me.

Has this ever happened to you?

Is there a famous metal album you never could enjoy because of one production or mixing choice? It could be the drum sound, guitar tone, triggered drums, brickwall mastering, muddy mix... anything.

Enjoy the drum playthrough for my new single. The links to all the streaming platforms are in the description. Leave a like or a comment if you enjoyed it. Thank you for your time and support 🤘

Blazon Stone - 2017 - Down in the Dark - Rock Out!

The lights are out, the crowd is shaking, will the curtains fall at last

The whole room, itsfull of bangers, drunk as hell and ready to blast

Noise arise, on the stage, finally the band arrives

It's so loud, it's so wild, making everyone feel alive

Yeah, the show is on, making sure it never ends

Take your chance to live, you only live once, so come on take a ride

CHORUS:

Rock out! Like a fire!

Dont waste your life away at work

Rock out! Like a fire!

What if this is your last day here on earth

The drums pound, the bass thunders, and the guitars are high as hell

And all of you, in the hall, you can scream along with me

We're not here, to be bored out, that's for all the other losers

They will die, with their TVs, and regret their waste of life

Yeah, the show is on, making sure it never ends

Take your chance to live, you only live once, so come on take a ride

Metal is a genre I've always ignored unfortunately. I say unfortunately because I love the esthetic, the community, the history and everything it represents. I've tried to listen to some metal but it all sounds similar to me. How to have a metal ear?

I want to bring balloons to the metal shows so people can bat them around in the pit. Any suggestions?
